MC 930 — True Condenser Microphone
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
Connection
�
The MC 930 is equipped with a 3-pin XLR connector .
You can connect it to any microphone input with
phantom power (11 - 52 V) with a suitable microphone
cable . Activate phantom power for this purpose .
Caution: Carelessly laid cables are a trip hazard .
�
People can be injured and the microphone
can be damaged .
Operation
The MC 930 has an almost frequency-independent
�
cardioid polar pattern . This means that the
microphone picks up sound primarily from the
front . In order to avoid feedback and noise as much
as possible, you should position the microphone
so that monitor speakers and other sound sources
radiate directly from behind (angle 180°) onto the
microphone . There, the cardioid polar pattern
provides the best possible attenuation .
Adjusting the pre-attenuation
�
For higher sound pressure levels, you can use the
right slide switch on the front of the microphone to
switch on a pre-attenuation of 15 dB (imprint -15 dB) .
Adjusting the low-cut filter
�
If a directional microphone (pressure gradient
receiver) is used for short-range recordings, a
physically induced increase in the low-frequency
sound components occurs, which is refered to a pro-
ximity effect . In order to compensate this effect, the
MC 930 has a switchable low-cut filter below 250 Hz
on the front (left) with 6 dB per octave .
The MC 930 is supplied with the MA-CL 21 microphone
�
clamp for tripods with 3/8" thread . For tripods with
a 5/8" thread, you can unscrew the threaded insert .
Caution: A tripod with an insecure stand can fall
�
over and damage a microphone mounted
on it . Make sure the tripod stands stable .
MAINTENANCE
Use a soft cloth moistened with water to clean the
�
microphone shaft .
�

�

�
Let it completely dry before you use it again .
